"The Pommel, tang, & crossguard are blued the blade is parked / light gray. Andy stated that he could see blades in the white in the pictures that he was looking at; however, the blades could be the light gray parkarize" the blades are from factory sanded and lightly browned so no parkerisation in reality as it made a grey finish, the light browning is well known procedure used on czechoslovak origin prewar bayonets, was done in ZB, has nothing with germans, the handle was polished, so when You have a blued handle and parkerised blade its a postwar finish, as germans blued the overall piece. But not in 1939 more 2 years laters, as there exist exact orders how it should be made.
